ChoruS of East Providence Celebrates Tenure Group to Tour Ireland this July

Posted

Fundraiser March 5th Crossroads Pub

The popular 'ChoruS of East Providence' will celebrate ten years of singing together under the direction of Beth Armstrong, and will join the American Celebration of Music in Europe with performances in the historical country of Ireland during the month of July. "Music Celebration International, features select American Ensembles, including groups of all ages, in the grandest, most prestigious venues in the entire world," said an excited Sandra Medeiros, President of the chorus.

"The ChoruS of East Providence will perform a program entitled 'The American Song' and will tour throughout Ireland. Choristers, family, and friends will experience the quaint Irish cities and towns, and some hope to kiss the Blarney Stone! Many travelers will tour the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin and some may find their way to the Temple Bar on Dame Street. Director Armstrong, with accompanist Rena Anthony, will direct three concerts while in Ireland with the Chorus. 'The American Song' will bring to life music selections featuring 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow, I Love A Piano, Java Jive, Bridge Over Troubled Water' and many other familiar American tunes," added Medeiros.

The ChoruS of East Providence is celebrating throughout the year to commemorate their tenth year of anniversary of singing together. "These twelve months will begin with a sensational Ireland fund raiser at Crossroads Pub in Warren Sunday March 5th from 4 to 8pm. We welcome the best of Irish music featuring the John Connors Irish Express Band direct from Boston! Come and enjoy the festivities and support the Chorus! An Italian buffet (a change from our last two Irish buffets! ) is planned. Tickets are $20.00 and can be purchased from a chorus member, on the website at www.chorusofep.org or call 401-486-5443."

Each year this chorus presents very popular holiday and Spring concerts. The 2017 Spring Concert titled “The American Song” is programmed for May 6th and May 7th at East Providence High School. "The Chorus looks forward to performing and celebrating with the community throughout the year," said Medeiros.
